Our next production is
Steel Magnolias
by Robert Harling

Thursday 22nd - Saturday 24th October 2009.

Wimborne Drama is proud to present Robert Harling's real life drama, “Steel Magnolias”.

Truvy’s Beauty Salon is the unofficial hub of Chinquapin, La. It is here that these softhearted “magnolias” with the steely disposition come to chitchat, counsel, criticise and comfort one another. Helped by her eager new assistant, Annelle who is not sure whether or not she is still married, the outspoken, wise-cracking Truvy dispenses shampoos and free advice to her friends: the town's rich curmudgeon Ouiser, an eccentric millionaire Miss Clairee, and the local social leader, M'Lynn, whose daughter Shelby is about to marry. “Steel Magnolias” is alternately hilarious and touching. The play focuses on the camaraderie of these six Southern women who talk, gossip, needle and harangue each other through the best of times - - and comfort and repair one another through the worst.
